Jan Tojnar e6805e2a6b Add gnome-ssh-askpass4 for GNOME 40+
GTK 3 has been in maintenance mode for a while now, and it is on the road
to being abandoned. As a result, the dialogue looks out of place on modern
systems.

We could port it to GTK 4 but without the program being registered as an
application (i.e. having a .desktop file), GNOME Shell would ask for
permission to grab input every time.

Let’s instead use the GNOME Shell’s native prompt through the unstable
Gcr API.

SSH Proxy Command -- connect.c
Shun-ichi GOTO <gotoh@imasy.or.jp> has written a very useful ProxyCommand
which allows the use of outbound SSH from behind a SOCKS4, SOCKS5 or
https CONNECT style proxy server. His page for connect.c has extensive
documentation on its use as well as compiled versions for Win32.
